"I have worked with Cybertrol for more than ten years because of their technical expertise. The breadth of their experience is wider than other integrators. Having expertise in computer science, networking and controls, gives them a broader base of knowledge to draw from when solving problems. Their ability to develop custom solutions is probably their strongest suit. On top of that, they don’t miss dates. They get it done."

OT Network Solutions

Cybertrol provides complete network services to transform any facility into a cutting-edge space. We perform site network assessments, network upgrade planning, network design, and more following the principles outlined in the Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) Design and Implementation Guide, a collaborative development effort from Cisco Systems and Rockwell Automation that is built on, and adds to, design guidelines from the Cisco Ethernet-to-the-Factory solution and Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture. This includes designing redundant, highly available networks and creating logical separation between different areas and zones, when applicable. Cybertrol has the ability to remotely support and proactively monitor industrial networks, allowing us to stay on top of issues at plants and address them before they have any impact.
